Monofin Recommendation ?

Hi to all freedivers !

I started Apnoe 1 year ago and i am looking for an Monofin especially

for DWF and CWF.

Which one can you recommend - especially for beginners ?

( I am willing to spend about € 250,- plus minus 50 €)

Thanks for your help and

keep on finning !

Re: Monofin Recommendation ?

just my opinion but I'd say the best basic fin for this would be a waterway model 1(I like the medium stiff) people have taken it beyond 200m DYN and Deeper than 100m constant, the glide type fins seem to have surpassed this in terms of performance but probably not practical until your doing some very large performances and well beyond your stated budget. However if you are a long time bi-fin user and don't want to put in the time adjusting to open heal mono pockets you might go with something with bi-pockets like the wings nemo-or equivelent from special fins or leader fins.
